You don't slap a "shockingly" adjective on the front of it, because that changes the context of the word's meaning completely.

Try not being stupid about this, Box.

In the online dictionary, there are five definitions of original as an adjective:

1. belonging or pertaining to the origin or beginning of something, or to a thing at its beginning: The book still has its original binding.

2. new; fresh; inventive; novel: an original way of advertising.

3. arising or proceeding independently of anything else: an original view of history.

4. capable of or given to thinking or acting in an independent, creative, or individual manner: an original thinker.

5. created, undertaken, or presented for the first time: to give the original performance of a string quartet.

The fifth definition is the one I took to be meant, and the adverb is no more than hyperbole.

boxy as I’m sure you know the QUEEN’S sentence that you quoted is not part of the rules of the contest. As has been pointed out there is no rule specifically forbidding anyone from entering the same story they entered last year (as has been proven repeatedly by darkboy).

And even if there was such a rule (but there isn’t) all of us who’ve been observing the Themed Contest scene here at LITEROTICA know that the QUEEN would likely enforce or not enforce it depending on her mood of the moment or who was breaking it. darkboy, jayman, and the moonman (among many others) have all benefited from almost incomprehensible rule interpretations.

I brought up the baron on this thread only because you boxy and others seemed to be taking cheap shots at him without any of us knowing all the facts. Over the years I’ve seen far too many “most favorited” authors attacked for no reason other than their success. Jealousy invariably rears its ugly head.

this is not the baron de sade…

rgjohn was ruthlessly attacked in AHland when he soared to the top.

The delightful sarahhh was shamelessly besmirched by authors who lusted after her place.

The kitten sisters followed. The first brought down by her ‘supposed’ friends far more than by those who were ultimately accused. Big sis too eventually fell. In her case a just reward for the evil things she’d done against first sarahhh and then even her younger sister.

slickman was number 1 for a short period but he too was brought down.

And so today we have two famed MANU AWARD winners going after the top spot. In my opinion both would be more than deserving leaders – goldengirl and the good baron have been successfully delighting readers on this site for years. I can only wish them both good luck.

For there is one thing all AHers know (yes even those who disparage the greats) and that is that every single one of the top ten most “favorited” authors have earned their place at the top. They’ve done it one story at a time … one reader at a time.

I must confess that I cringe every time I see a post purportedly coming from my old pal freddie. These attempts by ralphie and SusieQ to perpetuate the freddie myth, these attempts to steals works penned by one of LITEROTICA’S greatest authors, these attempts to achieve immortality by pretending to be the MANU AWARD winning BOSTONFICTIONWRITER, is the most sickening thing I’ve seen in all my years on this site. And I’ve seen some pretty sick things!!!!

hasn’t he suffered enough?

But I must say I didn’t know it had progressed this far. SusieQ is now removing stories written by freddie and resubmitting them under her own name?

What next? Will she take a stab at Shakespeare? Change a few words and submit “Much Ado About Mommy” and the “Merry Wives of Woburn”?

And worse still it appears (if SQ’s post is true) LAUREL is a partner in this scheme to steal freddie’s greatest works. Didn’t she do enough to him when she stole two SURVIVER Contests from him?

Even though it's none of your business, Dark, I asked Laurel's permission if I could delete some of my BostonFictionWriter stories to rewrite them and resubmit them as SusanJillParker. I've deleted 250 of my BostonFictionWriter stories so far to rewrite them as e-Books and to repost them here.

Laurel said that I could repost them so long as I realized, having already been posted on Literotica, that they could not compete in any contests. Further that my reposted stories wouldn't appear on the first page of the new story list. As far as I'm concerned the rewritten stories are so far from the original stories that I don't deem them the same story.

As an example, I rewrote my 60,000 word Love So Young and Reposted it as 115,000 word Love So Young. The book now appears on Amazon as Love So Young, Volume 1 and Love So Young, Volume 2.

Whatever I do is first checked with and approved by Laurel. I comply with any and all current Literotica rules. The only contest I'm allowed to win here, matter of fact, I've had the current Survivor contest rules tattooed on my ass. When I turn, bend, and look in the mirror, I think of all the people here who continue to bad mouth me and insult me even though I don't bother anyone. I just mind my own business and write my stories.

By the way, my current 24,000 word Halloween contest story, Mother's Halloween Trick Treats Son is all original. Good luck in the Halloween contest and have a nice day.

She's actually trying it again! After she's been caught in the last three themed contests and branded as the cheat she apparantly is. This time she's entering another mommy story -who does she think she is - SusieQ?

Rumors are the story has been on the site before with a different title and different author name but who knows...

And then slipping it in late and not with the other contest entries. Her theory is that she doesn't want real contest readers finding it - only her hundreds of VOTING ALTS.

lovergirls bio?

It'll be interesting to see how her latest cheating gambit works in the LITEROTICA section of the contest...

But I can promise you one thing - it's not going to work in the:

the ASSOCIATION of INDEPENDENT READERS (A.I.R.)

2012 Halloween Contest

we've already kicked her comic ass out of the A.I.R. Contest!!!

Nymphwriter, after you read the first few paragraphs of scummies putrid, alt inflated suck fest, do yourself a favor and check out alwayswanted too, silk stocking lover, Heyall or pretty much any other author who writes incest, please don;t judge the category by its worst representative

I don't judge those who write stories in this particular category, but I personally find these stories not my personal taste. Some writers have a nice mix of stories, while others just write stories in one specific category. This is the same way some readers will never a non-human story, a category I actually enjoy. Those few fans who I chat with, have been told early on this category bothers me personally, and have understood my decline in wanting to read theses stories. In turn, I know that my least read story is the one I have in the Non-Human category. A story I feel is pretty good in its own right... but I'll also admit an author's bias.

All of us read what we like. I don't judge writers of a specific category, I choose not to read their stories, no matter how good (or bad) they are. I rely on fans of that genre to make that call. I guess that's the nice part about being an American... I have this freedom to choose.

A.I.R. has decided to take it to the next level! Two contests for the price of one!

Two MANUS to be awarded!

Unfortunately the LITEROTICA Winter Contest has fallen on hard times – a contest with no enforceable theme and no original stories. A dull contest story list full of Pauletta stories, Survivor authors and reworked SciFi/NH stories pumped out using the darkboy cut-and-paste technique.

Our readers have had enough! A.I.R. headquarters has been bombarded by complaints about this deluge of AHland dross.

They want a return to quality.

They want the return of the “most favorited”.

They want their votes to count.

And so the

the ASSOCIATION of INDEPENDENT READERS (A.I.R.)

has, with the added sponsorship provided by the good people of

ScouriesWorld

answered these requests and decided to hold two contests over the next two months. The first is the

2012 A.I.R. Thanksgiving Contest

starts: November 1stcloses: November 22nd winners announced: November 24th

This will be followed by the

2012 A.I.R. Xmas/New Years Contest

starts: December 1stcloses: December 25th winners announced: December 29th

Stay Tuned: Full details on these two contests will be issued over the next week.

You're the reason he turned off voting and everyone should know that. You are the reason he left the first time and you can't stand that he's back and that he doesn't give a fuck what you think.

Having voting turned off is not against any rule on Lit. It just means he can't win and he know this. You on the other hand have no idea what that means. It's a slap in your face, straight up and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Unfortunately the LITEROTICA Winter Contest has fallen on hard times – a contest with no enforceable theme and no original stories. A dull contest story list full of Pauletta stories, Survivor authors and reworked SciFi/NH stories pumped out using the darkboy cut-and-paste technique.

As someone who has only written her own original stories that might have been influenced by the world around her, I find this comment a bit offensive. Though I'm not partaking in the Survivor contest, I did submit a story to the Halloween contest that I wrote myself, and the idea was solely mine. If I chose to write a winter themed or a Thanksgiving themed story, it will be an original work. I would like to think that those who write for these contests, like myself, create original works of erotica literature.

Please don't assume that those of us who dare to enter a contest are all frauds. I'd rather lose and write a quality piece, than win with a fraud. And since my 1st entry to Halloween has a 4.71 with over 300 votes in 3 weeks (the most in such a short time for one of my stories), I've got no complaints.
